Rishi Sunak’s reshuffle has brought the resignation of five notably experienced junior ministers with well over three decades of frontbench time between them, while another departure left the government looking for its 16th housing minister since 2010.
Those who stepped down were Nick Gibb, the veteran schools minister; Jesse Norman, who was at the Department for Transport; Jeremy Quin, the paymaster general; Will Quince, a junior health minister; and George Freeman, the science minister.
